That's a fact. I'd even include Fayetteville in that north east category.As a Raleigh/Durham artist I can tell you Charlotte is more like Atlanta while RDU is more like the North East with a heavy focus on lyricism
The military also. Fort bragg mostly. Then you got camp lejune and seymour Johnson afb.Raleigh/Durham area has a lot of colleges (Duke/UNC/NC State/St.Aug/NCCU/Shaw) and a lot of Northeast cats go to those colleges end up falling in love with the area and don’t leave.
DaBaby goes hard
Check the video of him doing a video in ATL and some cats come up asking for his permission slip
He was solo and kept it 10 toes down
This interview is closer to DaBaby's actual personality. Really relatable guy, humorous. If pressed you don't get the feeling he runs or chumps out. But he likes making music, is creative with it, and has a fairly unique style. He does typify Charlotte really well:
This song and interview is closer to his original style. Ladies man who rapped about materialistic wealth. And the song is good. He still goes material sometimes, and he def still on the ladies man movement, but if you followed his career arc there was a clear shift shortly after SXSW, where his primary image became being a gangsta, being a shooter. The other stuff became afterthoughts, whereas initially, he talked about "keeping the stick" like everybody else, but he wasnt running on every track or every show/appearance talking about how he knock nikkas down:
Coordinated effort by him, B$B, and SCMG, and to they credit, they knew what they were doing, because it's worked in they favor...
Put me on to his hardest tracks breh
legit? Didnt know thatThat was staged
legit? Didnt know that
I assume when he popped ol boy at Walmart that was staged too
Bro his security killed the guy. I don't know how many Charlotteans are on here but everybody in the city know he didn't kill the guy. It's the perception everywhere outside Charlotte that he killed him. The image of him being a shooter was already coordinated before that incident, but the "realness" of that incident boosted his profile nationally. It "fits" what they were already saying about him...
The word out on dude is that he ain't some chump, but he don't have the reputation that his image portends. People in that lifestyle in Charlotte know that there's nikkas well known for knocking shyt off. His name is not mentioned in those circles because he not one of them. Alota people didn't know where he was from for the longest. He from Charlotte, but he not from any area that breeds the type shyt he talking bout...
DaBaby is an older Tay-K. He from the burbs and ran around with guns, the word is he sold some trees, and "maybe" he hit somebody out in the suburbs before. He do got some solid cosigns, far as some people around him known for drama, so its credible that he not a sucker or a pushover. Nobody in Charlotte thinks he this gangsta ass nikka though, just a funny nikka who can really rap. People in the field in Charlotte know the nikkas really with the shyts...
He definitely in actor mode in the recent Vlad interviews, like just relax, bruh. Nobody think you sweet...
As far as him being signed, he been buzzing for a minute so I wouldn't be surprised if he was already signed and they waited until now to leak it...
Yepshyt it seem like he been around longer than 3 years. So u mean to tell me all this shyt happened in 3 years
